Summary

This trial tests three different intermittent fasting schedules in obese working women to see which one they follow most closely and how each affects quality of life. Participants have a BMI between 27.5 and 32.4, are not very active, and have not joined diet programs before. Researchers measure how many days each woman sticks to her assigned eating plan and track changes in body weight and composition. The goal is to find a fasting approach that fits into a working woman's routine and supports weight loss.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Intermittent fasting protocols
What this could lead to
If one fasting plan proves easier to stick with, it could offer a practical weight-loss option for busy working women.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply to all women. Fasting can be hard to maintain, and some may find it affects their daily energy or mood.
